Auto Start Workflow Activation

This workflow is designed for:

• Developers who are using n8n for automation and want to ensure that workflows with specific tags are activated automatically after deployment.
• DevOps Engineers who need to manage workflows in a CI/CD pipeline and require a reliable method to trigger workflows based on tags.
• Project Managers overseeing automation processes who want to streamline workflow management and ensure critical workflows are always running.
• Teams that rely on n8n for integration and automation tasks and need a solution to prevent workflow downtime after importing workflows.

This workflow addresses the challenge of ensuring that workflows tagged with 'Auto start' are automatically activated after importing them into n8n. Without this workflow, users would have to manually start each workflow, potentially leading to downtime and inefficiencies. It integrates seamlessly into the n8n deployment process, allowing for continuous operation of vital workflows without manual intervention.

1. Manual Trigger: The workflow begins with a manual trigger when the user clicks ‘Test workflow’.
2. Fetch Workflows: The n8n node retrieves all workflows from the current n8n instance.
3. Conditional Check: The TAG? Auto start node checks if any of the retrieved workflows contain the tag 'Auto start'. This is done using a strict condition that looks for the presence of the tag in the workflow data.
4. Activate Workflows: If the condition is met, the workflow proceeds to the n8n1 node, which activates the workflows that have the 'Auto start' tag.
5. End of Process: The workflow completes, ensuring that all relevant workflows are active and ready for use.
